Monday Dive? 7-6-15

Greece said No on Sunday and US indices futures gaped down 1.5% on Sunday night open. European Union is moving into a uncharted territory.  My measured moves to the down side are 2030 then 2019 area for ES. I also prepared to roll over my ES July 4, 1950 puts for a loss and other steps to reduce my margin when it was standing at $32K only.

European market opened with a pull back from the low and the US opened with one way straight up. ES pushed beyond gap on the 2nd hr of RTH. The high was 2070.5. A retest of 2015 was bought with force until closing. ES/SPX are closed within current balance area. RUT's HS pattern is hanging on the right shoulder now.

I closed my VIX bear call for a 60% gain. Bought back 3 SPX 1860 this week to increase buying power. I also sold a Aug 5 ES 1720 put on Karen's setup with 56 DTE.

Grains were range bound. Bed weather kept prices up despite large inventory and higher USD. I lock and roll Sept 505 wheat for $750 profit. Too bad I didn't check my order quantity. I meant to close both positions.

I will try to double check risk of my positions and get ready for vacation on Wednesday.
